We could probably put some time into this and come up with a good useful list. The ports/packages list as a whole is so huge nowadays that 'skim through it and see what you might want' is far from a useful sugestion. However, if we could put together something to spew out a few basic categories and some choices within them, it shouldn't be too hard to at least reap some feedback off it... -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Unix Systems Administrator | fullermd@futuresouth.com Specializing in FreeBSD | http://www.over-yonder.net/ FutureSouth Communications | ISPHelp ISP Consulting "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
